Citadel

In an angular hall built up forty feet tall

We defied a silent world with sound

And the stories we called broke down tiny walls

As they crumbled, we flew from the ground

 

In a bright open space with no chemical waste

We pushed our dreams with pride

And the light on our face seemed to be full of grace

As we unleashed what we had kept inside

 

In spite of these years, my hands shake from fear

We becomes me, bit by bit

And through my tears, I shake hands with fear

As I lie on the fire I have lit

 

In this innocent hell shaped like a citadel

I become silent in a world of my own

And the stories I tell are never as well

As they seem when I am alone
